[{"type":"text","content":"CINCINNATI, Aug. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Workhorse Group Inc. (Nasdaq: WKHS) (“Workhorse” or “the Company”), an American technology company focused on pioneering the transition to zero-emission commercial vehicles, today announced the first delivery of its W56 step van as part of an ongoing collaboration with NorCal Transports Inc. (“NorCal”), a last-mile package delivery contractor in Richmond, California. The delivery, facilitated through Workhorse's Certified Dealer, Kingsburg Truck Sales, provides a significant opportunity to showcase the W56’s outstanding real-world performance in the last-mile package delivery sector. NorCal has been a leader in adopting alternate fuel vehicles for last-mile package delivery. Currently 80% of NorCal’s fleet consists of alternate fuel vehicles, with a target of achieving 100% by 2025. “We have been thoroughly impressed with the performance of the Workhorse W56. Its durability, capacity, and range make it a perfect fit for our demanding delivery routes,” said Edson A. Costa Jr., CEO of NorCal Transports, Inc. “Support from the Workhorse team and Kingsburg Truck Sales has been outstanding. They’ve been proactive in ensuring we have everything we need for a smooth transition to electric vehicles.” “This collaboration with NorCal Transports is a true demonstration of the quality and performance of our products, as well as our proactive engagement in California,” said Ryan Gaul, President Commercial Vehicles at Workhorse. “Working together to host ride-and-drive events with our Certified Dealers, like Kingsburg Truck Sales, has been key. Once drivers experience the W56 for themselves, they see firsthand why it’s the superior choice for delivery fleets.” With the forthcoming introduction of the W56 with an extended 208” wheelbase, alongside the existing W56 with 178” wheelbase and W750, Workhorse offers a diverse lineup of ready-to-work step vans. These models provide cargo capacities of 1,200, 1,000, and 750 cubic feet, respectively, ensuring comprehensive coverage of various logistics needs. Each vehicle is backed by Workhorse’s superior warranty, service, range, and payload capacities. “As the adoption of commercial electric vehicles accelerates in incentive-driven states, we are excited for customers to experience the Workhorse difference,” added Gaul.
